School’s out for summer at Paul Brown Stadium. The final day of the mandatory mini-camp saw the locker room clear in a hurry as players dispersed for their five-week break from football.

They won’t be back until the final week of July when training camp begins.

That means an opportunity to vacation or pursue any number of off-the-field interests before turning focus back to the game late next month.

Adam Jones and his wife, Tish, are planning on making it to a taping of “Potluck Dinner Party,” the VH1 cooking show hosted by Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg. When the rapper was in town performing at River Bend in late April, he invited Jones to come on after the cornerback bragged about his wife’s skills in the kitchen.

“I’m sure looking forward to it,” Jones said. “My wife can cook anything but it’s got to be within the show time so we’ll figure it out.”

Linebacker Nick Vigil is headed back to his home in Utah where he has three horses, two of which he bought this past offseason.

“I plan on doing some horseback riding, doing some fishing,” he said. “We do a lot of riding in the mountains and using them for hunting. We’re big hunters, so we use ‘em for hunting. Makes it a little easier than walking everywhere. It’s relaxing. We do it for fun all the time and most weekends we’re out riding in the mountains. It’s just a good time.”

An important aspect of this time away involves players returning to the rigors of the preseason conditioning test. Every player has their own method to making sure they are in football shape when football returns.

For A.J. Green, the approach altered in recent years. He used to work out with a group of professional athletes that included Calvin Johnson and other receivers while in Georgia. He opted out of the group sessions and now focuses with personal one-on-one sessions.

“Now I do more stuff that caters to me,” Green said. “It’s easier that way. I don’t have to wait on nobody, I can work at my own pace.”

Defensive back Dre Kirkpatrick also said he'll put an onus on football shape, but also plans to put the finishing touches on the first album to come from his new record label, Supa Team Muzik. He hopes to wrap recording with the lone artist on the label, J-Ova, a friend he’s known since his time at Alabama.

“I feel confident,” Kirkpatrick said. “I feel like he’s matured to that level. He came to me and said I want to pursue music. For us to hit play on it now, I just feel like the timing is right.”

If not for football, Kirkpatrick said he would have chased a career in music. This offers him the best of both worlds. He’s dedicated with a personal stake in the quality of the product.

“I just vibe out make sure everything is going right, make sure it sound good and be a hard critic,” Kirkpatrick said. “I don’t want to be the best friend critic because the best friend critic don’t make you no money.”
